Darktide

Imagine releasing a decent, if barebones base game
Now imagine adding shit changes upon shit changes upon shit changes and overcharging for very small, half-assed additions
Now imagine paying for cosmetics
Also day 1 cosmetic packs to "complete" your DLC purchase for a new class
Now imagine patching up your lack of content by recycling old content

Absolute fag. Vermintide is hot garbage, but I could listen to AWR all day.

more like Dyketide

God her accent is making me uncomfortably erect.

I had hopes for about 15 seconds when I first saw the trailer. they all disappeared when I saw fatshit was developing it. then I saw that they were still trying to force the melee focus meme and made the cast woke trash and am now convinced it will flop and not even 40k shiteaters will like it.

She has a lovely voice and is quite good at accents, but is often wasted on side characters you barely speak with

It doesn't help that as usual GW will do nothing to help promote the game despite helping expose their IP and products to more people if the game is successful. Then again not like there appears to be anything memorable or significant worth pushing about the game from what we have seen.

It's Fartshart. I expect a nice game buried beneath bugs, jank, and dev bullshit.

That GW barely funds the game beyond barebones and the game remains buggy for its entire lifetime due to GW being filled to the brim with cheapskates.

I don't think GW is funding the game at all
They only rent out the license

she cute
nurgle SoB > slaanesh SoB > regular SoB

Darktide looks like it's suffering from the same issue i had with Vermintide, the playable characters look fucking retarded.

Out of the Warhammer and 40k licenses and tons of choices to choose from, this is our selection? Fucking gay.

I already know it will be a 6/10 game, like all other wh40k games
I'll wait 2 months and get it at half the price

>Khorne SoB>Everything else

also some very frustrating programming incompetence, such as talents/weapons not working correctly at all and enemies being pretty broken and it taking fucking months to get fixed because they take a vacation whenever they fuck the game up

We need a game where you play as a Sister Repentia who's forced to hunt down Fallen Sisters

I'll wait for more details but it's not looking good.
Vermintide at least had clearly distinct characters. None of the characters in Darktide look appealing to me.

Kill yourselves

>literally my birthday
is it a sign, bros?

You've seen like 45 seconds of footage with zero banter. Chill out dude.
I don't mind the "class DLC deluxe edition" shit because if you don't give a shit about cosmetics like a chad like me doesn't, it means you get a whole class for $2.99

They really need a 5th character.
Ubersreik 5 is perfect and I only realize now that taking one away from the Vermintide crew would ruin everything. Yes, even the stupid elf.

>You've seen like 45 seconds of footage with zero banter. Chill out dude.
So it has failed as a marketing campaign then. You don't not show one of the core appeals of your game if it is actually there.

>9/12
Hmm I'll think about picking it up in april 2023 when maybe the worst bugs have been patched. Since after 2 complete botch job releases I refuse to buy fatshark games on launch. Looking forward to seeing threads complaining about previously fixed bugs from vermintide 1&2 cropping back up though.

>They really need a 5th character.
hopefully a skitarii

They might still do it but it seems they are committed to forcing people into having all characters

combat looks meaty, can't wait to rip and tear with a 40k arsenal

If you really want to play it, wait one year from launch.
It's a fat shark game.
It'll be a buggy mess at launch. They'll sit there and bug fix like 15 of the major bugs, fix the exploits, leave the rest, and then heavily nerf all the fun stuff within six months.
After six to eight months out, there will be DLC, and it'll make the game slightly better.
One year to 15 months out, the game will be half off or better, with the DLC being next to free.
Just like Vermintide 1 and 2.

I don't think anyone will disagree with you. They've shown shockingly little and went radio silent for a whole year and a couple months (Game Awards December 2020 to last week)

Are we still going by the storyline that the Darktide team is part of an inquisitor's retinue?
At least we'll have some idea of likely "classes" they could add.

>Are we still going by the storyline that the Darktide team is part of an inquisitor's retinue?
Obviously

I fear it's tainted by Slaaneshi politics.

It smells of shit and pus but that's all nurgle

>Game Workshop
>DRG way of monitization

yeah nah, I don't think so.

They are beyond retarded for not going with stuff like Arbite, Techpriest, Deathcult Assassin, etc. All things that are infinitely more interesting that what we see and could have radically conflicting personalities to spice things up. Amking the veteran guardmans just some generic Cadian is stupid too, and the Priest(ess) is shit too instead of some nutter firebrand that we usually associate with Eclessiarchy Priests. The Kasrkin is decent enough since Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are a thing but making it a woman for brownie points was stupid. If they were insistent on having women then the Veteran Guardman would have been the better choice and make her a Catachan.

Clearly they want to sell classes later.
And having them all be guardsmen is more convenient. This isn't the handpicked retinue of an Inquisitor, this is a band of misfits ordered to do one's bidding.

>he Kasrkin is decent enough since Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are a thing but making it a wom-
What the fuck
I was looking forward to Kasrbro

I mean obviously they want to nickel and dime DLC classes/characters later, but you need a solid base to sell upon and that just isn't there.

Kek

I'll gladly pay for more classes and missions and expansions if they're good and I feel I got my value out of the base game. There's nothing wrong with selling meaningful content in good games.

The options are reasonably open
The most limiting factor is the ogryn, you can have him be a bullgryn or give him somewhat better ranged options but there really isn't much you can do.
They can have a sister of multiple flavor with the priest
They can have multiple loadouts with the guardsman from heavy weapons to sniper and so forth. Fluff him as being from some of the odder regiments and that gives cosmetics and gameplay.
They might have a commisar in there somewhere.
And they can lean in the past of the characters with gangers and arbites, at least in theory.
I'm not too hot about the game but I don't see too many issues with their character choices.

there won't be any cute SoBs. the look they chose for their ecclesiarchy-type was this pan faced mongoloid in pic related. this disgusting pig alone makes me not want to buy the game and I have 2.5k hours in VT2.

Looks like an Inquisitorial Acolyte aka Inquisitor-in-training. But the fact she looks just so fucking bad is astounding to me.

the biggest fatshit joke was pushing out balance updates for months based on a different fork of the game than people were actually playing

What I am saying is that extra classes/roles won't sell if your base game isn't good enough to sell in the first place. And little to nothing about the initial roster is a good selling point.

I was interested in the game until they revealed the 4 nameless guardsmen in the cinematic trailer aren't going to be playable, instead we get 4 SJW mary sue shitters. Why?

Unfortunately that is more or less the current art direction of the last 2 SoB Codexes since they finally got a line of plastics. If anything she actually has more hair than in many of the current artworks for SoBs. I fucking hate modern GW.
